Extract fan repair in Roehampton
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. If you are dealing with a knocking noise from the extract fan and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, we can put it right, from belts and pulleys, fan motors and bearings onwards.
For a London kitchen, a failed extract fan typically means the cooking stops. In Roehampton, as across London, fans often sit on a roof or deep in a plant space, so access is the first thing we ask about.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Part by part
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts, or the motor itself may be failing.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and cause vibration.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Roehampton
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that’s a common source of rattles.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan that won’t start at all
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan rattling in its housing
Hall kitchens near St Margaret's Church, or anywhere around Roehampton, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

How we price extract fan repair
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
For extract fan repair in Roehampton, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Roehampton.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Roehampton
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Roehampton?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Roehampton is within the area we cover. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can you come to Roehampton after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Roehampton can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
It depends on the fault. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What happens if it’s left?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. In Roehampton, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Extract fans in Roehampton
Food Standards Agency data counts about 244 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 42 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Roehampton. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Lifting a replacement fan onto a London roof can need a loading slot and the building’s agreement. Environmental health officers from Wandsworth council inspect food businesses in Roehampton. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Granard Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. For a takeaway near Barnes station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
